Q: Why Do I Need A Knuckle Saver?
A: In the event of an upper ball joint failure or an axle u-joint failure, the knuckle saver prevents the loss of steering and brake control that happens when the tire/knuckle assembly separates from the vehicle. “Drive it back to camp” in the event of failure and “save collateral damages” from happening!!
